Statement from Jon Gosselin on Recent Media Rumors

I am troubled to learn that the media has accepted as true the
scurrilous rumor that I would appear in a reality television program
with Nadya Suleman. This is utterly false. I do however accept that
some of my previous actions have in some way lent credence to such
outrageous stories.

I am well aware that my behavior over the past few months has not
always reflected my personal and religious values. I further accept
that I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own
moral anchor and be carried away by the challenges of fame. It is for
this reason that I have endeavored of late to reconnect with my
deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self with regular study
sessions and counseling with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, whose morality and
values-based advice, coupled with his profound commitment to
fatherhood and family, I deeply respect.

I have always endeavored to be a loving father and a devoted parent
who serves as a moral exemplar to his eight children. That’s what my
father, a children’s dentist who always extended himself to his
poorest patients, was to me. My father was my inspiration and moral
compass. I intend to serve the same role for my own children by taking
responsibility for my errors and making right any pain I have caused
to those I love.

 

I have therefore agreed to a forum at New York’s West Side Synagogue
this Sunday where I intend to publicly apologize to those whom I have
hurt. I wish for the public to know my regret at having, at times, 
betrayed the moral principles that have always guided me. This forum
will also allow me to illustrate the further steps I am determined to
take to regain the trust and confidence of loved ones as well as the
public who have watched me over the years, together with Kate, raise
our eight beautiful children.

 

I could tell you that these steps, under Rabbi Shmuley’s guidance, are
absolutely sincere and not intended for public consumption. But I know
that ultimately I will be judged not by my words but my actions.

 

More than anything else, Rabbi Shmuley has impressed upon me the moral
obligations inherent in celebrity and I understand that if a spotlight
is shined on me, especially as a father of a large family, that I have
to inspire others to do the right thing always. It is my sincere
desire to use the fame I have so unexpectedly acquired to highlight
mature, responsible behavior as well as the joys of fatherhood and
family.

 

I ask the public to please understand the challenges I face in living
under constant public scrutiny, even as I am aware that I have at
times courted that scrutiny.

 

Furthermore, my girlfriend, Hailey Glassman has paid a significant
price to live under such a media microscope.  I am grateful for her
emotional support and I regret any pain that my actions have caused
her as she has selflessly born the pressures I have endured under the
media glare.

 

I am committed to making things right with Hailey as well as Kate and
especially my children. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to
prove myself.

    Jon-

    Get back with your wife.  (I’m sure that she has a lot of apologizing that she will do too) Get back with Jesus and forget this whole miserable time.  One thing I love that Shmuley teaches is how we have the ability to reinvent ourselves.  Every day is a new day…I am butchering Shmuley’s quote but that is the gist of it which I think is incredibly encouraging and has been a great help to me personally.  Don’t listen to the press.  Don’t listen to your flesh or the devil - just listen to Jesus and Shmuley in that order!!

    Best,

    Michael Cohen

    Then drop the girlfriend & focus on ur family & Kate.  U still need alot of counseling.  The children r already devasted by the divorce they do not need 2 deal with daddy’s girlfriend. U & Kate both need 2 work towards forgiveness of each other sinning against 1 another.  Kate also needs counseling.  When she made the comment that she was self-sufficient that spoke volumes 2 me & not 4 the good.  Jon, God would have u drop girlfriend & 2 bring urself back in line with his truths.  U never should of brought another woman in2 the pic.  U just came out of a ten yr marriage & what do u do go rite back in2 1.  U need 2 repent & ask God 2 forgive u, Kate, each child individually & get ur life rite.
